This study is part of a research program aimed to investigate the relations between instantons, monopoles, and chiral symmetry breaking. Monopoles are important 3-dimensional topological configurations existing in QCD, which are believed to produce colour confinement. Instantons are 4-dimensional topological configurations and are known to be related to chiral symmetry breaking. To study the relation between monopoles and instantons we generate configurations adding to the vacuum state static…

### Color confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, and catalytic effect induced by monopole and instanton creations

Our research reveals the relations among monopoles, color confinement, instantons, and chiral symmetry breaking which experiments can detect, by numerical calculations of lattice gauge theory. We

In QCD, magnetic monopoles are crucial elements for the mechanism of color confinement, and instantons induce spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. However, showing the relations among the monopoles,

This project aims to give indications to find monopole and instanton effects in QCD on the observables by experiments. First, we add the monopole and anti-monopole to the QCD vacuum of the quenched

### Monopole and instanton effects in QCD

Abstract We aim to show the effects of the magnetic monopoles and instantons in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) on observables; therefore, we introduce a monopole and anti-monopole pair in the QCD

In quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the role which topologically non-trivial configurations play in splitting the singlet pseudo-Goldstone meson, the $\eta^\prime$, from the octet is familiar. In

### QCD monopole and sigma meson coupling

Under the assumption of the Abelian dominance in QCD, we show that chiral condensate is locally present around a QCD monopole. The appearance of the chiral condensate around a GUT monopole was shown

Under the assumption of Abelian dominance in QCD, we have shown that chiral condensate is locally present around each QCD monopole. The essence is that either of charge or chirality of a quark is not
